The level of automatic, commanding entitlement both Loki and Hal display is wonderful, although they show it in very different ways. I found myself comparing the two, and the one thing that stands out between them is Hiddleston's ability to play royalty. Because, you know, the only other thing I've really seen him in is his role as Loki in Thor and The Avengers, who despite being a villain is still pretty lovable. Hiddleston's Prince Hal is so charming and handsome that I'm now desperate to see him play a genuinely unappealing character. Within about fifteen seconds of him coming onscreen I had little hearts in my eyes like an anime character, like, what was even happening. And having seen it? I'm now coming to understand why Tumblr is basically a giant online shrine to Tom Hiddleston. I'd been looking forward to this play in particular both because I love Henry IV/Henry V story, and because Tom Hiddleston was clearly such brilliant casting. Tom Hiddleson as Prince Hal was, put simply, totally awesome.
